Federal Home Loan Bank, Boston]


Project]
FHLB Boston is a wholesale bank and quasi-governmental agency. Their purpose is to lend money to member banks and to provide funding to New England communities for affordable housing. Our task was to first develop a solid strategy for them and then to build a transactional Web site that addressed both audiences.

Although the Bank operated an existing Web site, it had not been well exploited. The Bank wanted  to create an Internet delivery channel that would serve as an additional communications vehicle providing member banks with information, products, and services.

Approach]
  • Conducted competitive assessment and user interviews with Bank personnel, member banks, and community developers to define user requirements and target audience characteristics
  • Developed a Web Strategy 
  • Designed the information architecture to support the new requirements
  • Developed their brand positioning  for a compelling creative design and relevant online messaging
  • Designed a new look and feel to accurately reflect the Bank's online brand
  • Implemented a custom content management system

Services]
  • Support for project sell-in
  • User research planning and implementation
  • Project scoping, resource planning, and budget development
  • Brand positioning and strategic direction
  • Ongoing oversight of user research, requirements, creative solution, and information architecture
  • Experience Design client representative/champion
